Ursa Major Men Fantastic Face Wash

It really is that Fantastic!!

In this post I would like to introduce you to Vermont based Ursa Major, and one of their products - the Fantastic Face Wash. Over the course of the next few days I will also be reviewing their other products, which consist of a Toner, Shave Cream and Face Balm.

The bottle design, simple, striking and to the point
This face wash is a concentrated gel formula that doesn't dry out your skin, or leave it feeling greasy or oily.
Because it is concentrated, you only a little to go a long way (about the size of a penny in the palm of your hand), which also means the bottle will last a good 4-6 months, so it is excellent value for money.

The ingredients are fantastic, as well as being 99.5% natural and 51% organic.
And the scent - my goodness!! I have never smelt a face wash (or anything of that matter) that smells as nice as this - a really rich, woody-minty-herbally smell that fills the bathroom when you lather it up on your face, for some reason reminds me a little bit like Christmas :)

Directions and Ingredients








After cleansing my face with this wash, it never feels dry or tight, like most other gel washes do. I think this is because this is a natural product that contains no chemical nasties that can dry out your skin such as Sodium Lauryl/Laureth Sulphate). Also, my face is never left feeling red or irritated after using this wash, this is due to the natural oils in the product having a calming and almost therapeutic affect on the skin. Moisturisers/balms still sink in like a dream, and I feel that this product is perfectly fine to use twice a day (morning and night).

The product lathered on my face - note the low but right amount of lather

Ursa Major are a fantastic brand, and not well known in the UK. I have spoken to friends, family and colleagues and all seem to be unfamiliar with them, but having spoken to them about the brand, showed them the products and given them some to try, they have all said that this will certainly be a brand that they will look into purchasing from in the future.

This is an amazing face wash, and has been my go-to wash for the past year almost, and I cannot recommend it enough. This is one that you HAVE to try. 5/5
